About
Commercial Trust Financial Services provides discretionary portfolio management as the sponsor and portfolio manager of a wrap fee program and through LPL-sponsored advisory platforms. It serves individuals, high-net-worth individuals, charitable organizations and corporations and delivers ongoing investment advice tailored to each client’s stated objectives.
The firm documents client goals and risk tolerance in an Investment Policy Statement, typically obtains discretionary trading authority, and pursues long‑term trading using fundamental analysis, cyclical analysis and modern portfolio theory. CTFS limits its recommendations to a set of investment types—mutual funds, equities, fixed income, ETFs (including precious‑metals ETFs), real estate funds/REITs, non‑U.S. securities and insurance products such as annuities—and provides regular portfolio monitoring.
Notable features disclosed in the brochure include an affiliation with Commercial Trust Company and CTFS’s role as both wrap fee sponsor and sole portfolio manager for the program, which is uncommon among peer teams; the firm elects to pay transaction charges on wrap accounts (absorbing those costs) and requires custody at LPL, while also receiving various economic benefits and support from LPL. These arrangements and CTFS’s sole‑manager model are identified as potential conflicts of interest in the brochure and are addressed through fiduciary disclosures and internal policies.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
